Our mission is to stimulate, coordinate, and perform scientific research on the biology and conservation of the unusual mediterranean climate ecosystems at Starr Ranch and to extend our science to the local community in the form of unique natural history education programs and conservation activism.

Starr Ranch is a 4,000 acre sanctuary owned and operated by the National Audubon Society, which preserves some of the last remaining southern California mosaics of coastal sage scrub, grassland, oak woodland, riparian woodland, and chaparral.
